kingraph Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Dang, 3 of my top 8 in my group (me, AJ, sebe), plus Uncle Buck (Seth Jr) and Evan! That'll be a tough one to get through. 3 (make Seth #9, TK, VC) in group C, 1 in group B (HABS). 2 in group A (Ice/KG). LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

HABS Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 I won't be able to make the tournament anymore Will need to sell my ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingraph Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 I'll sell my ticket and buy HABS. But seriously, sucks you can't make it...definitely one of the buds I was hoping to meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 TK! One of the few from the original Fall 2005 league, you will certainly be missed! And yes, why am I in a bracket with Raph and AJ? It looks like group D is a CT rematch? Mikey's in there too. Going to have to work a miracle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd tend to agree there are a few more killers in the afternoon then in the morning but that is the breaks it seems. Trying to build up those rivalries in group D it seems.

IceStorm70 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Who decided the group breakout? Tough to know for sure at this point since so many of the players are not from the forums. Wonder if it was based on skill level responses from sign ups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachMac Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 My guess would be some kind of random generator with 8 forum guys and 8 non forum guys in each group. Brackets, Divisions, and Conferences are always highly debated. Following the World Cup draw, many teams feel they were placed in the toughest group. While there is nothing easy at this point, some groups are clearly more stacked than others. Unlike past years that had one legitimate "Group of Death," this tournament features multiple terrifying selections of teams. Not only will these be difficult to win, but it will be tough for some of the best squads in the world to even make it through to the next round.

IceStorm70 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Speaking of which, what are contingency scheduling plans when people back out? Might've missed it if it's in another thread. Guessing 5-10% rate of attrition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceStorm70 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 HABS said he can't make it in the 2on2 thread. ya so what happens if we have 1-3 people missing from each bracket on game day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brackets, Divisions, and Conferences are always highly debated. I'm sure there was a little more to it then randomly putting forum guys and non-forum guys together but that's ok, building the rivalries and saving some match ups for later in the day will be fun.

smozoma Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 ya so what happens if we have 1-3 people missing from each bracket on game day? This is a good question. There's bound to be a few no-shows among the 120 signups (and still not entirely sure what's happening with the remaining 8). Do we just grab some people who happen to wander in?

halifax Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I was the one with the final decision on groups. I consulted some community buds and even re-consulted buds on the groups before posting. Most of the selection is random since the majority of the players are unknown. Some had some special request to play in morning or afternoon. Some had friends that they didn't want to be in the same group. There are players in there that played online a long time ago that you may not have met and their skill level was factored in as well. Some of it is future super star Hollywood actors being part of the documentary in the same group. So I did my best to make it all work. C'est la vie...just GA! It's too bad Habs can't make it. I told him if he can find someone to replace him, we will just switch them out. I'm working on trying to help him out as well. Soooooo...if you know someone that wants to play genesis, have them email nhl94king@gmail.com asap. If someone doesn't show up on the day and there is someone else around that wants to play(they would still have to pay)....then I'll insert them in....otherwise their opponent simply gets a bye. The remaining 8 spots were for Mikey to decide what to do with. Three on the SNES side since then have been filled. (one spot left there). Genesis still has 4 spots. Hope that answers all your questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
